Twelve people died when Holmes allegedly opened fire on a theater full of
mostly young people attending "The Dark Knight Rises" premiere.
He's facing twice as many charges because he's accused of
planning the attack and "showed extreme indifference over who he
killed," CNN's Ed Lavandera tweeted.

Holmes is also facing one count of sentence-enhancement - criminal
violence and one count of possession of an explosive device,
9News tweeted after the hearing.

The maximum punishment Holmes can receive is the death penalty.
At minimum, he can be sentenced to life in prison with no parole,
according to Painter.

Holmes did not enter a plea today, The Huffington Post
reported. His attorneys asked for more time before doing so.

The only time Holmes spoke Monday morning was to say "yes," when
the judge asked if he agreed to waive his rights to a speedy
preliminary hearing, according to The Huffington Post.

The complaint against Holmes was released following Holmes' court
appearance. The 40-page document lists all of the charges brought
against Holmes, as well as prosecutors' justification for the
charges.

Holmes exhibited "universal malice manifesting extreme
indifference to the value of human life," according to the
complaint.

Holmes "didn't flinch" when he heard the charges levied
against him, according to Denver Post crime reporter Jessica
Fender who is interviewing witnesses who were in the courtoom.
Cameras were not allowed in the courtroom for today's
proceedings.

Following his first court appearance last week, commentors picked
up on the fact that Holmes often looked dazed and glassy-eyed
while listening to the judge. Today, he had the same dazed
expression and "blinked rapidly or visibly gulped," The
Washington Post reported.
